And yet another thing to be careful of... the parameters for a posix
utility that is started from the DCL posix command line must be enclosed
in double quotes.  This makes it nasty but there's of course an easy
workaround, e.g.

One way to define it:      $ grep :== posix posix$bin:grep.
Then you use:              $ grep "foo *

Better way to define it:   $ grep :== posix posix$bin:grep. """
So you can use:            $ grep foo *
